The official New Years plan

Yo yo yo

So its done, after much deliberation, research and soulsearching, the verdict has come in. WE WILL BE SPENDING NEW YEARS AT THE FINNISH BETHEL CHURCH :)

We will have our normal plans for the night. We will watch a movie or two, either make food or then order it, and also have some time in prayer and (maybe even some worship ) I felt that with the responses and the upcoming ski camp, having the New Years at the Church made it most fair to everyone in the way of attending.
So with that said, I figure that we should meet around 8 on sunday night, and be prepared to be picked up around 8 or 9 on Monday morning. We should have a fun night, and i'll try to come up with something a little different for us to do, (at least for some of the time :)
These are the things that you should bring
1. Sleeping bag (if you plan on sleeping)
2. 5 dollars for food and stuff
3. A cheerful attitude and willingness to start the year in prayer and devotion to God
4. Yourself and whoever you can convince to come :)
5. A favorite movie, which is suitable to watch as a youth group :)

God bless all of you and see you on Sunday night

New Years

Hey guys

So me and Marja are hopin that you all had a very merry Christmas :) We did :) Its always a special time of the year, and hopefully all of you guys spent some of Christmas reflecting on Christ and His birth!
But on to business! As most of you know, NEW YEARS is approachin quick!!! And we still have not decided whether we are gonna meet at the Church or all go our separate ways? So the question is being asked!!!!
1. How many of you guys are wantin to spend NEW YEARS at the Church? It would be cool to keep up the tradition of hangin out there for it, but I need to know how many of you are into it? SO THE REQUEST IS THAT YOU POST ON THIS BLOG OR WRITE ME AN EMAIL IF YOU WANT TO MEET AT THE CHURCH. IF I GET ONLY A FEW FEEDBACKS, WE WILL NOT MEET FOR NEW YEARS AND INSTEAD FOCUS ON SPENDING SKI CAMP TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND!!!
I am cool with whatever you guys decide, as always ; Magority rules. I will post on Friday with the results :) The proverbial ball "is in your court" on whether we meet :)
God bless all of you and get back to me on your plans....

-Miika-
ps. Friday will be the cutoff, as arranging something else for New Years will take its own time :)

Hey guys

So I just wanted to thank all of you guys for your efforts on Saturday :) Our fundraiser was a success once again, and actually the people liked the food even more than last year! So a huge collective THANK YOU is in order. I was so proud of all of you guys, the last hour before the start was incredibly hectic, and I was so impressed to see some of the leadership qualities rise out in some of you :), that I have suspected you posessed all along :)
We are still figurin out the total amount raised, but we certainly did raise a substantial amount of money in one day :) We'll have to decide on the purchases as a youth group, but we'll do that in the New Year.
So with that all said, me and Marja really want to wish all of you a blessed Christmas. Remember to use these holidays spending time with God and your loved ones. Christmas is a special time and it should be spent reflecting on Christ and His birth, and on the wonderful plan of Salvation that God put into progress so many years ago...
We truly hope that all of you can enjoy this Christmas like never before!
God bless all of you and see you soon

With love; Miika and Marja

ps. We still have not decided on a plan for New Years. I am willing to do the overnight Church thing, but we need you guys to give us an idea over it or anything else. So please comment on the BLOG over what YOU would like to do for New Years :)

Fundraiser

Hey y'all

So its here, our annual fundraiser :) This weekend is gonna great! I've been plannin stuff all week and tomorrow my fetching of "turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffin soup etc...) is beginnin. I'm gonna get everything that I can possibly think of for the Christmas dinner. Its of great importance that you guys all try to show up early on Saturday morning. I'm gonna be there at 8:00 a.m sharp, we will get some coffee goin and just relax for a few minutes. I'm hopin that all of you guys come out and pitch for this weekend. We will all enjoy the things and experiences that this fundraising money will get us, so lets all enjoy some fellowship time making food and working at the Church.
I can't force you to get there super early, but it would be nice to get the major brunt of work out of the way early, so that we won't be all stressed out as dinnertime approaches :)
So thats about it, I was thinkin that it would be cool if we all dressed in black and white (dark and yellow,brown and white, etc) It would give a good effect I think. So with that said, if you have dark pants or dresses and white shirts, please wear them :)
Ok, I think that I covered everything here. Remember to pray for our weekend and remember to spend time with God. I havnt preached enough to you guys of late, and if you come out on Sunday morning. I WILL :)
So have a great week and God bless
-Miika-
ps. As all of you remember, there is no youth this Friday...

Hello Peeps,

Okey dokey... so everyone who was at youth last week (that doesn't inlcude me) has recieved a registration form for ski camp from my wonderful girlfriend Liisa. So if you plan on coming please remember to fill out this form and also bring your $20 deposit. Now if you haven't gotten a hold of this form yet,then there will be some available to you this weekend. Bring your deposit this Friday or Sunday and fill out a registration form. Also remember any friends that you would like to bring are always welcome.... but remember that we do have a max capacity limit of 25-30... so first come first served. Once we have all the forms in, we can calculate prices for each individual accordingly to what activities they are taking part in. So remember to register this weekend,cause this is your last opportunity to be a part this awesome long weekend. If you have any questions about anything regarding this ski camp, please get a hold of myself or Liisa. I hope everyone can make it out and I garauntee you this is something you don't want to miss! If anyone is nervouse about skiing or boarding.... don't worry... not everyone is going on the slopes. You can also go snowtubing or just hang out with others in the village or at the cabin. Our food plans are outlined in the registration package.... so no worries there. Also our fund raising will help out to reduce costs for each individual. Alrighty I think that is all I need to get out to you guys for now. So hopefully I will see all of you guys Friday.... Liisa and I are gonna try and make it out after her Christmas concert. I feel like I haven't seen you guys in ages... I have had some really busy weekends. So God bless everyone and I will see you soon.

-Jarno

Just a little reminder!

Yay for this season of fun times and Christmas!! :D :D
So just a gentle reminder... this Sunday we are having our Christmas celebration at church. It is important to be there! Everyone who took the song sheet to "Away in a Manger" should be coming! We should all be there around 4ish so we can practice ahead of time! It will be great times and I know everyone will love Darren's solo! yay! so come out and join the Christmas Spirit! On Friday I will attempt to get to church after my Christmas Concert at school. I am not making any promices, cuz I really don't know if I can make it to the church before all of you are gone to practice. But I will try! Anyway, please come out. I would really appreciate it!
God Bless, Liisa

Yulin with the youth....

Hey guys

So I have a few reminders and things to mention in this edition. I'll address them by numbers.

1. This Friday we will be havin our Christmas party and gift exchange. Remember to bring a gift valued at 5-10$ if you want to participate in our exchange. If its impossible to get the money, then come out and have fun anyways. We'll have some good munchies and fellowship :)
2. So how many chocolates have been sold so far? I sold 2 boxes to Daren :) and am resigned to the fact that i'll just buy the rest :) Hopefully you guys are doin better than me.
3. Remember, Remember, Remember to make sure that you come out and help us for the fundraiser. Its Dec 16th and we'll arrive at the Church at 8:00 a.m to get started!!!
4. I just wanted to compliment some of you youth who were out a week and half ago sortin bottles at the Ahlgrens. I heard that over 200$ was raised, thats phenomenal work and we should all really pitch in and help. If a few youth managed this, imagine what we could do if we all helped?
5. My final point is about the Christmas gift :) We raised 60$ for a needy family in Africa, which we will use to buy 2 hens and a rooster for them. It will supply them with much needed food and income, so great job to all of you guys :)
So thats it for now. We'll be startin at 7:30 on Friday, if any of you want, you could bring out some food to eat. We will bring some stuff, but lets all chip in :)

God bless all of you guys and hopefully we'll see you all on Friday :)

-Miika-

Snow!

Hey Everyone!
Just really excited cuz there's snow everywhere!
I just thought I would put up some pics that I took on Saturday night.. they might not be the best, but I thought I would share the love anyway,lol!
And just a gentle reminder that there will be worship practice on Friday, and try to make it for 6, but it's totally understandable if you're late cuz of the slow traffic.
Enjoy and God Bless!
Liisa

the pics...

The big one

Hey guys

So theres a few things that i'm gonna cover in this post! I'll put them all in questions, so that you guys can answer them. Firstly though, remember to start reading your Bibles and preparing for the challenge of reading your Bible from cover to cover in 2007 :) Its gonna take a solid commitment from everyone, but it will greatly enrich your Biblical knowledge and bring you closer to God. It will do nothing but bless you and enrich your life in all kinds of ways :)
Now as I talked about last night, we have some important events coming up for our group. Next week we have a planning night with Kim Rautava over programming for our Christmas fundraiser. Some of you youth already stepped up and offered to play, sing or something in the program. The rest of you, please pray and think about maybe volunteering to do something in the program. No pressures though. We will make things work :)
We will obviously have some time after the planning, so I need to get some movie suggestions. If I don't get any, then I will decide :)
Secondly, remember next week to bring some money if you are planning on contributing to our Youth Christmas gift to a family in need. So far we have 50$ in donations, every little bit helps and this time of year is all about giving.
Thirdly, i'm posting some old pics of you youth :) Its funny and cool to see how you've grown not only physically, but spiritually also. Its honestly a pleasure to spend our Friday nights with you guys. I see so many diverse people with incredible talents and gifts. I am so grateful to God and our Church for giving me the opportunity to begin my ministry with you guys. Remember to study your Bibles,spend time in Prayer and to live your life as an example. If you follow those steps, you WILL claim a blessed life :)
God bless and be strong

Worship News!

Hey guys!
This post is mainly for all you worship team members out there, but it's also a shout out to the ppl i haven't seen in a while! i miss you!!!
I have my school's choir concert this Friday night unfortunately so I won't be able to make it out to youth. So basically there won't be any worship practice this Friday, sad I know! But nevertheless, we will have worship practice earlier on Sunday morning before the service. If you can make it out, please let me know! I would GREATLY appreciate it!
God Bless you guys!
Liisa
ps. i thought you would appreciate this awesome pic i took :)

Hey guys

So we've been away from our "home" for a while, and starting this week. We'll be curin any "Church-home-sickness" that any of you guys have been experiencin. We will be meetin at 7:30 next week at the Church. Jesse will be preaching to us, and I for one am really looking forward to seeing what God has put on his heart. Let's all make an effort to come out and support Him and each other in a fun fellowship filled evening. We have some discussions to hold over "Christmas fundraising dinner" and then some other stuff regarding our "Christmas party" and whether we want to meet for New Years this year. Hopefully all of you can make it out. We have a great group here, and sticking together and growing as a group is very important.

Have a blessed week

-Miika-

Delta Church

Hey everyone, i'm not positive on the meeting starting time on Friday. I have contacted the Church and am waiting for the info. Anyways, a safe bet would be to show up for 7 o'clock and usually these types of meetings end about 2 hours after starting. So ending would be at 9/9:30 or so.

The address is posted below, i'm hoping that all of you guys make it out. Its gonna be a good night and its always great to meet new people and see different formats and stuff.

Hopefully you have all had a blessed week, ensure that your weekend starts well and come out on Friday :)

God bless

Friday, Nov 17th

Hey guys

So we've had a change of plans for the upcoming week again. As you most likely remember we decided to meet at the Church and have Jesse Sorila preach. But that has been pushed back a week. I got a call yesterday from Jenni and she informed me that the "No Boundaries" meeting that we attended last year is happening again at the North Delta Church. I really enjoyed the speaker last year, and since it also had great music, fun games and so on. I think that attending it again this year would be a great idea.
So thats what we will be doing this Friday. I'll post later in the week with the address and time, but remember that YOUTH WILL BE IN NORTH DELTA AGAIN THIS WEEK :)

I hope that you all have a fabulous week and really spend time with God and His Holy word....
God bless

-Miika-
ps. Remember to put your names on the Ski Camp post! Jarno and Liisa are putting a lot of their time into organizing it, and its hard for them to try to find discounts (lift tickets) when they are unsure of whos coming!!!!

Ski Camp in Whistler

I have to give thanks to the Lord cause I have finally gotten a computer!!!!.... so now I can finally post on the blog, use MSN Messenger, e-mail, and all the other goodies. So we are finally seeing snow on the Mountains..... yeah.... woo.... woot.... I'm stoked, anyone else? I have contacted Whistler/Blackcomb to see if we can get a package deal on lift tickets and rentals if needed. They will be contacting me in the next few days. Ssssooooo I really need to know who is planning on seriously coming so I can give them a head count on how many tickets and rentals we plan on needing. Hopefully God will provide us with some awesome deal on tickets just as he has provided us with free lodging at an awesome place (thank you Nick/Family)!! So lets continue to pray for this exciting weekend. So please either respond with a comment here or e-mail me at acura_dragon@hotmail.com. Let me know if you are coming, whether you will be skiing/snowboarding or not (# of days 1or2), and if you will need rentals. Hopefully we can get this rolling now so we can calculate a cost for everyone for food and everything else. Man I'm so excited for this ski camp!! We're gonna have awesome Bible teachings, prayer time, and fellowship/games. I really encourage everyone to make it out. So hope to hear from you guys soon and everyone God bless!!!

*Jarno*

PS: The pic above is actually taken in Whistler village on November 6/06. So they are getting snow!!!

Friday's coming....

Hey guys

So this Friday we will be meeting at the Koivumaki's home :) That's Jenni and Emma's for those of you who don't know. We'll have a fun night, and just hang out and either play games, watch a movie or then???????? But regardless, it will be fun :)

We werent asked to bring anything, but its always a good idea to bring something to munch on anyways. Hopefully all of you guys can make it out, try to be there between 6:45 and 6:48. If anyone needs directions, ask me or better yet call the Koivumaki's :)

God bless you all and see you soon

-Mononens-
ps. I was lookin through pics and found this one. I took it last year, its cool I think :)

Woo Hoo Snow!!

OOh it's ALmost here!!!!! time for snow and fun times on the mountains! I dunno about you guys, but I am SO excited.. and cold... lol. So we have a great time for all you youth out there. This is a great oppertunity for all of us to get even closer, and to have ALOT of fun. So January 5- the 7th we are going to be going to Whistler! Activities will include snowboarding, skiing, walking around the village, and great fellowship times. There's going to be way more to come, and we'll keep you updated. But for now I need to get an approximate number of people coming so we can figure how much we should fundraise, and also, then we can figure out if we can get any kind of group rates from Whistler itself. So, write a post back if you are in, and if you don't have a membership to the blogger community, then get someone to write down your name, OR tell Jarno or myself all right? Sweet! Sounds like a fun, fun time!
Keep Y'all updated!
God bless
-Liisa

Hey y'all

Hey guys

I've been tryin to post pics, and the server is down or something. I'm tryin now again. Let's see if it works.

-Miika-

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Did that get all your attention? Hopefully so :) Its Monday night and i'm just quickly postin some info about next weekend. It was fun last Friday night, and hopefully we can keep the fun going in our group :)


This Friday we will be having an awesome meeting. We have the talented Liisa and band leading us in worship and then we have a guest speaker (Marko Selkomaa) from Thunder Bay speaking. Marko is a super talented speaker with a true heart for God and I hope that EVERYONE of you guys especially tries to make it out to hear his message...

We also have on Saturday the CAMP REUNION happening. That will be a fun night with good stuff happening and good stuff to munch on after. So remember to commit to spending next Friday and Saturday night at the Church. You won't regret it :)

God bless and talk to you all soon

-Miika-
ps. I'm gonna post some pics, but for some reason the server was down. Checkitoutlater....

Cans. Bottles. AND Rotten Juice!

For all of us out here from youth.. we gotta start sorting out all those bottles that the Alhgrens have at their house! SO I say we set a date and time to sort them out. Please blog back and let me know if you are available some time in this week or next week.. we don't want it to smell to much! I say we do it this weekend if possible and go see "the Departed" after... but it's just a suggestion!-Liisa

Fun Fun Times at Metrotown!!

YAy for the fun Metrotown scavenger hunt! Good job planning it Emma and Nick, you sure got my team stumped on some of them... like the "Define your self with a fragrance..." yeah that one was smart! ooh good times. well SO I took some pics this Friday, and I'll post them up in a sec BUT BUT BUT first! You guys need to listen to this::::::::::: This Friday, if you do not know, we are having youth at the church. Worship practice at 6pm as usual, and then at 7:30 youth is going to begin. AND this time, we're carving pumpkins and having a costume contest (with a PRIZE) after we do some worship and Miika speaks a little! (Thats right guys, there's a prize) You guys all dress up now! I don't want to be the only one looking like a goof on stage singing. ;). All righty, thats basically it! Enjoy the pics! God Bless, Liisa

Pumpkins

Hey guys

So it is October, and that usually means a dress-up night and pumpkin carvin contest. We as Christian youth want to distance ourselves completely from any kind of pagan traditions. So we will just meet on Friday (7:30) and have some sweet worship session, I'm gonna speak a little and then we are gonna just hang out, eat, laugh and have fun together :)

I'm hopin that you all will bring your own pumpkins, big or small does not matter. We will be downstairs, and as far as I remember, we DO have knives and stuff for carving.

Hopefully you all can make it

Have a blessed week, and remember to give God some daily time....
ps. It would be awesome if everyone could bring something to munch on. Just so Nick could get a break once in a while, and it would be even greater if everyone posted what they were bringin, so we could have some variety :)
pps. We also have small prizes for best guy costume and girl costume :)

-Mononens-

Hey guys

So its Saturday evening, I got a ton of pics from Elissa (thanks Elissa :) and I decided to post some funny ones. Hopefully you guys think they are fun and so on. If anyone does not want to be on the post, let me know. I can take it out.
So yeah, thats about it for now. Tomorrow is Church and hopefully all you guys can make it out :)
I'll write back in the week, but remember that next week we are meeting at Mcdonald's in Metrotown for a scavenger hunt planned by some of our youth. So lets all make our schedules work as not to miss it :)

God bless and check back later in the week

-Miika-

Hey guys

So this Friday we will be having our first Worship and Prayer evening. We've been talkin about it for weeks, and finally we'll have it Friday. I encourage all of you to come out and spend a night in prayer and fellowship in God. We'll have an open mike setup and those of you who feel like speaking can come up and speak whats on your mind. Lets all remember the coming night in our prayers and thoughts.

God bless all of you and see you Friday

-Miika-

Big Changes :)

Hey guys

So its time to let you all in on a little secret :) Me and Marja are soon going to be blessed with the birth of our first Child :) We've been keepin it a secret for the last few months, and we are finally ready to let everyone know. So there it is, our baby will be born late March or early April, so we have almost 6 more months to go. But nonetheless, we are super excited and neither of us can hardly wait :)
We will continue doing youth work, and even though Marja will not always be attending, I will be committed 100% to youth work still, so there are no changes in that at all! I'll write about the coming Friday later in the week, so check back later in the week :)

God bless all of you

-Mononens-

Changin the plans...

Hey guys

So as all of you (who have given me some way of getting ahold of you) know. We will NOT be going to the Qwuanoes meeting tonight. It seemed that pretty much all of the youth, were unanimous in there intent on missing this one. So we will have a week of nothing. Its unfortunate that this worked out like this, but the good in it is that the communication lines are working amongst us :)
By the way, I am gonna have to get all of your contact info, it was a struggle to go through my book and cross off each youth that I knew 100% had heard of the cancellation. And if there are any youth who have not heard, and are gonna wonder why our Group did not show up! I apologize whole-heartedly. We are getting more organized every day, and getting ALL of your contacts is vital.

God bless and be happy
-Miika-
ps. I was called by Lauri Karhinen, he asked for the youth(who volunteered) to try to show up before 11:00 a.m. There is the chairs and tables to organize, so i'll be there early, and hopefully you will also :)

Worship team name anybody?

looky here at these two young hooligans! hey everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has ideas for youth band names?? we've been the "youth band" forever, and i think we should change it up a little.. post what you think would be good alrighty?
God Bless!
-Liisa

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey guys

So as you most likely remember, we WILL be going to the Qwuanoes meeting this comin Friday. Its in Surrey, 186th and 64th is the crossroads and its at Cloverdale Baptist Church at 6:30pm. I'm posting the link again so you guys know where to find it. Check it out and see what we are in store for. It looks like a fun event and we should strive to all come out and represent our Church as a Youth Group.
http://qwanoes.ca/events/roadtour/

See you guys on Friday and do me a favor. I'm gonna post a pic of someone you all know. We've been havin an argument over who it is. Post your guesses :)

-Miika-

we should get some couches..

hey everyone! i was looking on my new favorite website "craigslist"... and i thought to look in the free section.. it seems like tons of ppl are giving away free couches and things like that.. should we look into it further for our downstairs? we could easily slipcover them to make them look decent.. check this one out;http://vancouver.craigslist.org/zip/214857764.html
-liisa

New stuff

Hey guys

So as agreed, we WILL be goin to the Qwuanos outing next Friday. I'll have to figure out a ride situation for those youth who live in Vancouver. But thats no problem :) I'm posting a few new pics, and hopin that you guys have a great week. Remember to devote time to God, He wants fellowship with YOU, and your life will be only better as you give Him your time...

God bless all of you :)

-Miika-

The lost pics...

I goofed earlier and made a post without pics. So I am rectifyin the situation with a load of pics :)

Thanks

-Miika-

Sunday morning

Hey guys

So i'm a little unsure over what we should do this coming Friday. I have a sermon in mind (what else is new:) but after and before that, I need some creative ideas. One option would be to start watching those Kent Hovind videos again. I have the new set, and technically starting from the first one could be worthwhile.
Anyways, i'm just throwing this out to you guys in advance, please send me any ideas or bright thoughts if you have any regarding this Friday :)
By the way, Daren sent me a link regarding
http://qwanoes.ca/events/roadtour/ I was thinkin that this could be a cool outing for us as a group. Its not til October 6th though. We will discuss though. Check out the link, and let me know.
God bless and have a safe week. I'll post later in the week
-Miika-
ps. Nina sent me some beauty pics from the Maze :)

Worship this Sunday morning and other such things like jesse in a robe

<--- i think this is one of the best costumes I have seen in sO long... too bad i didn't get the pointy red shoes in the pic as well... :D
I'm stoaked about the corn maze! It'll be sweet... yummy hot dogs & creepy corn fields....
anyway the rest of this "post" goes to the worship team who has been awaiting patiently. i apologize for the lack of communication. i was going to post stuff up on wed, but there was simply no time :(
So since most people are busy on saturday (tommorow) there isn't going to be a worship practice. instead i chose songs that all of us basically know! and we're just gonna basically go up and do it. :) so you probably are going to want to look over the songs tommorow at some point for 20-30 minutes or so to get all those chord progressions and harmonies down!
the song order is the following:

1. Did you feel the mountains tremble (G)
2. Great in Power (C)
3. Holy, Holy, holy ( the old hymn) (C)
4. Better is one day (E)
So far I think that's it. I was thinking of putting "I can only imagine" in there as well.. but I dunno the chords to it yet.
Thanks guys! see you at the corn maze tonight!
God Bless,
Liisa

Corn maze it is...

Hey guys

Its Friday morning, and the weather looks great, so we WILL be goin to the corn maize tonight. We'll be meeting there by 7:30 at the latest. We will bring hotdogs and drinks, if anyone wants to bring some chips or something, feel free to do so.
I'll be at the Church tonight at 7 o'clock to pick up those of you who need rides out there. Please be on time and if you are comin but are gonna be late. CAll me and let me know 778-855-2751

God bless all of you guys and see you tonight :)

Worship Practice.... ?

I thought this was a cute picture so I decided to post it! yay!!! lol.
Anyway, this is about worship practice. PLEASE let me know if you are available on Saturday ASAP. This way I can plan a practice for Saturday night or something. I need to yet choose some songs for us all. Thanks guys!
God Bless
-Liisa

Corn maze or else...

Hey guys

I'm tryin to really work out a organization schedule for youth, and I know that I can make a huge difference by doing my bit, so as a result. You are gettin info on a Sunday; 5 days before our meeting :) I called the Corn Maze, and was told that all of the firepits are booked already, but I was also told, that around 8:30 or so, some would free up. So if we plan to meet there at 7:30, then everything should work out. Regardless, we will be meeting somewhere though on Friday. The weather is gonna be a factor, so we decided today, that if the weather is rotten, then we'll be meeting at the Koivumaki's (Jenni and Emma's) for something fun. I'll report back later in the week. I'm gonna post the link to the corn maze also.The prices and other info are on there so remember to look.http://www.cornfieldmaze.com/sites.php?ID=&username=cancloverdale
Check it out, and tell your friends. I'm gonna bring a ton of Hotdogs and stuff, so more Youth the merrierit will be is the hope :)
By the way, I've got a ton of pics from camp, so I figure to post one every time I announce something here. That way theres some visual stimulation along with the incredible joy when you read about our Youth Group :)

God bless all of you and remember to check later in the week to see the final ruling :)

-Mononens-

So i saw this picture and thought we should aspire to have a Pringle wall in our basement, for that unique touch we're looking for! lol. Also, when we want to snack on something, what else better to do than to go to the Pringle wall?
Yumm...lol anyway, as I sit in front of the screen and eat my wonderful cereal for breakfast I am reflecting on the awesome service last night. God was totally there and His presence was just awesome!I'm really looking forward to having a worship night soon, it'll be awesome!
So I guess next week it's the corn maze for us all!! yay!!! as far as worship practice goes, we'll probably do it on saturday night. maybe we'll have our first Saturday night worship practice this week! Let me know if you guys can make it. Also, set a post if you want to have practice at someone's house, more central to all of you probably?? again, i'm just thinking about it all so let me know what you think about it... aiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttte????? I'll see all of you tommorow at church!
-liisa-

Hey guys

So its Friday night, and i'm gettin ready to go off to sleep. Me and Marja were super pleased with the way Youth went tonight, you guys are all truly special and its a pleasure gettin to hang around with you all :)

I'll still be writin emails for a while, but this is now our website and postings place. Check it every week and bookmark the site :)

God bless you all

-Mononens-

ps. I really love this photo, I took it at prospect point :)
